High in the air, a few hours later, Ziyunzhou gradually flew away from the remote boundary in the south of Qingzhou and came to Yongning Mansion in Qingzhou Prefecture.

Beyond the vast Yongning Mansion, at the end of the line of sight, below a conspicuous fire cloud, is the territory of the first major sect in Qingzhou, Shangxuanzong.

In the cabin, the sword spirit gradually opened his eyes, and after seeing the surrounding environment, he dissipated the cold glint in his eyes and replaced it with the usual honest appearance of a woodcutter.

Noticing the line of sight behind him, Ziyang Zhenren, who was standing at the bow of the boat, turned his head and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?" Poor Dao Ziyang Zhenren, when Poor Dao was in a hurry before, he met you fainting in the woods, so he rescued you. ”

"What's your name? Is there anyone else in the house? If there are still people, the poor road can send them to them. ”

Zhang Baoshan showed a strong expression of gratitude on his face, and he sat up and bowed, and said sincerely in his mouth.

"My name is Zhang Baoshan, thank you for the grace of the immortal to save my life, my parents died when I was a child, and I grew up to this age after eating hundreds of meals. If the immortal does not give up, I am willing to be a handyman and caretaker in your courtyard, and serve you with all my heart for the rest of my life. ”

Ziyang Zhenren looked at Zhang Baoshan's movements with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang Baoshan's reaction was the same as his guess, which was the normal reaction of an ordinary person when he bumped into Xianyuan.

He swept the floating dust in his hand, and the method of transportation held Zhang Baoshan's body up, and continued to ask in harmony: "When Poor Dao passed by that forest before, I felt a sharp knife aura, and then I found the remains of the hanged ghost beside you, and that sword qi was sent by you?" ”

Zhang Baoshan scratched his head embarrassedly, and said honestly: "I saw that evil ghost looking scary before, and in a panic, I used an axe to slash at that ghost, and then I didn't know anything. ”

"Since I was nine years old, I have been helping the villagers chop firewood, and it is cold in the woods, so when I chop wood, I feel warm and comfortable."

Zhang Baoshan said, subconsciously reaching out to touch the axe next to him, looking at the axe as if looking at his own relatives, familiar and kind.

"I've chopped firewood for 33 years and used dozens of axes, and this axe I've used for the longest time, and I've been using it for almost eight years."

Ziyang Zhenren stroked his long gray and black beard and nodded slightly.

The longer you cut wood, the better you understand the texture of the tree and the way you cut it, and the less you wear and tear on the axe when you cut it.

This woodcutter with a natural knife body is just an ordinary person, but he can rely on his innate pure knife qi to chop wood in the ghost-infested woods for decades, which shows that Zhang Baoshan's talent is high, and it may be far beyond his imagination.

Noticing the appreciation and praise in Ziyang Zhenren's eyes, Zhang Baoshan knelt in the cabin with a "snap" again, and kowtowed a few times with lightning speed.

"Master is above, please accept the apprentice!"

Ziyang Zhenren looked at Zhang Baoshan with a sincere face in amazement, and suddenly realized that Zhang Baoshan might be wrong about what he meant, he stepped forward and personally coveted Zhang Baoshan, looked at the poor Zhang Baoshan with some embarrassment, and explained: "Since you are like this, Poor Dao will no longer hide it from you." ”

"Poor Dao really values your talent. You are born with a knife body, but the poor Dao majors in the fire path, although there is a study of the knife path, but only a little bit of it, among the sect, there are many Taoist friends who are proficient in the knife path, and you will find a suitable master when you arrive at the Xuanzong. ”

Zhang Baoshan understood the general meaning and realized that he was a strange commodity to live in, not the kind of character that could be discarded, so he became a little bolder and began to take the initiative to ask about the sect where Ziyang Zhenren was located.

Under Ziyang Zhenren's extremely patient explanation, Zhang Baoshan gradually had a general understanding of the cultivation system of this world.

Ziyunzhou continued to fly forward as the two of them talked, gradually passing through the vast Yongning County and coming to a strange area where the trees and air were pale red.

Ziyang Zhenren took Zhang Baoshan's hand and walked to the bow of the boat, and the majestic momentum of a magnificent, cave-like immortal cultivation sect was displayed in front of the two of them.

In the center of the field of vision is a giant peak of Tianzhu that runs through the sky, which is the center of the Upper Xuanzong - Tianzhu Mountain.

Tianzhu Mountain itself is a huge active volcano with a height of hundreds of thousands of meters, and the existence of fire clouds seen from a distance and the surrounding pale red fire vegetation are all due to the presence of Tianzhu Mountain.

The main hall of the Xuanzong, the main hall of the council, the pavilion of the scriptures, the pavilion of foreign affairs and other sect buildings are all on the Tianzhu Mountain, strange flowers and fruits, cranes and spirit animals, waterfalls and spiritual springs, can be seen almost everywhere on the Tianzhu.

Around Tianzhu Mountain, fourteen steep peaks with different breaths are evenly distributed on a ring, like a guard guarding the master, standing silently between heaven and earth.

After passing through a transparent prohibition, Ziyang Zhenren's Purple Cloud Boat flew straight towards a magnificent immortal palace in Tianzhu Mountain.

Zhang Baoshan stood at the bow of the boat and looked under the boat.

Between more than a dozen giant peaks, there are countless densely packed beautiful peaks and large and small towns, and a large number of people living peacefully below, which makes Zhang Baoshan feel a heartfelt sense of intimacy.

He hadn't seen so many people in a long time.

The Hongjing base accommodates nearly 20 million people, and the large number of towns below and the figures on the high mountains add up, I am afraid that there are hundreds of millions.

"Below are the affiliated towns of Shangxuanzong and a large number of immortal cultivation sects, according to the results of last year's statistics, the number of people living in the territory of Shangxuanzong has reached 700 million." Noticing Zhang Baoshan's surprised expression, Ziyang Zhenren explained softly on the side, and there was pride in his words.

"Pay attention to the front, the main hall is about to arrive."

Zhang Baoshan looked up.

When they arrived here, the disciples of the Immortal Sect who stepped on the flying sword and the immortals who rode the flying boat suddenly increased, like fish in the water, freely shuttling through this ancient peak.

"Senior Brother Ziyang! Aren't you drinking to the Flower Wine Boat? Why did you come back so soon? ”

A drunken voice shouted loudly from a distance, and the voice clearly appeared in the ears of the two people standing at the bow of the boat through more than ten miles.

"That's a wine man, like Poor Dao, he is an elder of the Fire Gate, and Poor Dao only cared about bringing you back to the sect as soon as possible, but he forgot to bring wine to this drunkard." "This time, I'm afraid he will have to toss."

Although his voice seemed worried, Zhang Baoshan couldn't see any worried expression on Ziyang Zhenren's face.

As soon as Ziyang Zhenren's words fell, the open-chested and breast-revealing wine Taoist appeared on Ziyunzhou, he glanced at the calm Ziyang Zhenren's face, and then looked at Zhang Baoshan who was standing on the side with a strange look.

This is an ordinary person who has no cultivation, and the wine Taoist came to a conclusion at first glance.

No, how could the always arrogant Ziyang Lao Dao stand next to an ordinary person so casually.

The face of the wine Taoist remained the same, but it was the kind of person who opened the fire pupil and looked at Zhang Baoshan, and the more he looked at it, the more his pupils were enlarged.

"I'm a good girl, junior brother, how did you find such a demon when you went out here?"

Ziyang Zhenren smiled apologetically at Zhang Baoshan, his expression quickly became serious, he turned his head to look at the wine man, and said solemnly: "Senior brother, please Jinzhong!" ”

Seeing his junior brother so serious for the first time, the wine man couldn't help but stand upright, he looked at the junior brother who had been friends for hundreds of years, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?" ”

"Senior brother is sure!"

Shangxuanzong accepts disciples every spring, and after that period of time, no matter how high the talent is, he will have to wait for the next year to enter the sect.

It's already the middle of June, so naturally it's not the time for the sect to accept disciples.

The so-called invitation to the golden bell is a special way for the elders of the sect to encounter a peerless demon that is rare in a thousand years, and they need to break the conventional way of accepting disciples in the sect, personally ring the golden bell on the top of the mountain, and convene the elders in the sect to discuss the matter.

Every elder has only one chance in his life to invite the Admiralty.

The wine Taoist looked at the junior brother with a determined face, and then at Zhang Baoshan, who was full of honesty and confusion, and threw out the wine gourd that was carried around his waist as soon as he gritted his teeth.

The wine gourd grew larger in the wind, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into the size of a purple cloud boat, and rushed to the top of the mountain with the sound of the "woo" wind.

Along the way, whether it was the disciples of the Imperial Sword, or the deacons and elders of the sect who rode the spirit boat and spirit beasts, they all avoided one after another.

An angry curse soon came down from the mountain.

"Fat drunkard, what are you crazy about? After a few days of the head of the gate, the poor road will definitely sue you fiercely! ”

"Senior Brother Aoki, the head of the sect will be out of the customs today, you have the ability to sue!" The drinker laughed and didn't care.

Ziyang Zhenren smiled bitterly and explained in Zhang Baoshan's ear: "The wine Taoist is more than four hundred and thirty years old this year, and he is an old senior among all the elders, and he has a straightforward temperament. Poor Dao just said that he was inviting Admiralty, and he did it directly. Ay! ”

The three of them stood at the bow of the boat and watched the huge gourd fly over countless immortal halls and fly straight to the top of the mountain behind the sea of clouds.

"Bang!"

The stone broke through the sky, and the overwhelming golden light instantly crushed the vast sea of clouds under the mountain.

In the sky and on the ground, there was a golden color, and only the golden bell on the top of Tianzhu Mountain made a "clang" sound in the dazzling golden light.

Countless people up and down the Xuanzong looked at the golden bell in shock.

Except for a few old monsters, it was the first time that everyone present had seen the dazzling golden bell of the grade under the treasure weapon ringing with their own eyes.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as recorded in the classics, like a golden sun, splashing the sky with brilliant golden light on the endless land around it.

"Who's the one who asked for the bell?"

A majestic voice came from the small secret realm on the top of the mountain.

It was the head of the house who was forced by the sound of the bell to leave the customs immediately.

"Master, it's a junior brother!" In the face of such a solemn moment, the wine Taoist speaks a lot more rules.

"Take that person up to the main hall!" The spiritual sense of the head swept over the purple cloud boat below, paused on Zhang Baoshan's body for a few seconds and ordered.

"The wine Taoist wants to invite Admiralty, the elders stationed in the sect, except for a few who are closed to life and death, others immediately come to the main hall to watch the good talents."

Under the operation of the unknown method, the voice of the head of the sect spread extremely widely, echoing on Tianzhu Mountain.

The golden bell trembled endlessly, and as the golden light shone through, circles of golden light rippled towards the surrounding void like water waves, swinging farther and farther, swinging farther and farther, until they hit the protective formation of Shangxuanzong.

The countless people who lived here looked at the direction of the main hall on Tianzhu Mountain with blazing eyes. Although they could only see the golden bells that suppressed the sun's radiance, it did not affect their imagination of the scene inside the hall and the amazing talents that might exist in the scene.
